We are now seeking to appoint a Research Fellow (PDRA) with two purposes. First, to improve our reconstruction tools using deep learning based registration techniques, in order to produce an accurate 3D atlas. And second, to collaborate in the development of segmentation techniques that apply the atlas to the automated analysis of in vivo MRI scans. The latter task involves assisting in the supervision of a doctoral student who is working on a related task. This project provides an exciting opportunity at the interface between histology, neuroscience, biomedical imaging, computer vision and statistics, with a huge potential imaging in the neuroimaging field

Requirements:

Applicants must have a PhD or about to submit a PhD or equivalent research experience in biomedical image analysis. Good publication track record in top medical imaging journals and conferences (IEEE-TMI, Medical Image Analysis, MICCAI, IPMI) and Strong expertise in programming or using high-level languages or packages (e.g. C/C++, Matlab)

The latter task involves assisting Dr. Iglesias in the supervision of a doctoral student who is working on a related task. This project provides an exciting opportunity at the interface between histology, neuroscience, biomedical imaging, computer vision and statistics, with a huge potential imaging in the neuroimaging field. The postholder will be expected to produce implementations that will be made publicly available to the research community, as part of the widespread package FreeSurfer. The post holder will be integrated with the UCL Centre for Medical Image Computing (CMIC), which will be soon co-located with the new UCL AI Centre on High Holborn. In addition, the postholder will have the opportunity of visiting labs at MIT and the Martinos Center (MGH/Harvard Medical School) in Boston, where Dr. Iglesias holds affiliate / part-time appointments. Starting date is flexible but would ideally be September 2019 at the latest. The position is for 2 years in the first instance. Key Requirements Applicants must have a PhD or about to submit a PhD or equivalent research experience in biomedical image analysis. Good publication track record in top medical imaging journals and conferences (IEEE-TMI, Medical Image Analysis, MICCAI, IPMI) and Strong expertise in programming or using high-level languages or packages (e.g. C/C , Matlab). Experience with deep learning packages (e.g., TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch) and Background in Bayesian inference are desirable. Appointment at Grade 7 is dependent upon having been awarded a PhD. Or if about to submit a PhD, the appointment will be at Grade 6B (?30,922 - ?32,607 salary, inclusive of London Allowance) with payment at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of final submission of the PhD thesis.
